Chapter 22: Lisa

Marc entered my apartment, almost kicked the door down. What was with this incredible strength. He had kicked the door once earlier tonight. I had felt that thud between my legs and now he was again, anger visible in her eyes and, something seemed to have changed. There was something different about him. I couldn't tell what it was but he certainly wasn't the man who was with me in the shower.

"Veronica." He nodded to my mother, ignoring me completely.

"Marc. It's nice to see after all these years. So I guess, you two have already met?" Mom asked, gazing the sincereity in his pose and words. She seemed to be on edge tongiht. But now that Marc was back, Mom wasn't on edge, but on guard. Yes, she had adjust her stance, and kept her distance. Her voice was calm as she spoke to him but her body was still as if ready to jump at him. I had never seen her like that either.

I felt like I didn't know either of them. My body felt weaker still. Suddenly heat started to radiate from my body. I could feel my body temperature rise up. My legs didn't seem to be taking the weight of my body well.

"Yes, We've met. Several times. Erica is very close to her. I didn't know Lisa is your daughter. Why didn't you tell me?"

"What good would that have done? I thought it was better if no one knew. And look where we are now. The more I tried to keep her away from them, the closer she walked to his web."

"The five are on their way to the airport." He informed my mom.

Who were the five? Their words made less sense to me with every passing second. I wanted to keep up, but my body was begining to sweat now. My eyes were getting heavy, it took effort to keep them open.

"Lisa, " My mother's voice was the last thing I heard before passing out.

"Is she okay?" That's Marc's voice. Is he still here? "She's breathing. We have to get her out for her to be okay." My mother responded. I could make sense of what they were saying but my mouth wouldn't open in response. I was mentally exhuasted and physically burn out.

I felt the leather against my skin and realised that we were in the car. Where were we going?

"….no that's the only way." one of them said.

"…..hell… word out… tell.. I…game…teli.." There sounds were now mixed and I slipped into sleep as they continued to drive me to an unknown location.
